It appears the inferno torched the few areas which had been left unscathed by last month’s fire, which occured on March 14.

The business is situatted next to La Rada beach on Avenida España.

It had hoped to reopen by this summer but it is not known how likely that will be now.

Police are investigating the cause of the fire, which is currently unknown.
